the halos kind is not made by tyc, i think they are made by matrix racing. the last position contains the parking light AND turn signal.

some people say they leak, but my tyc leaks too. but the tyc also have the orange deflctor to comply with legal issues, while the halos does not

The ones with the Halo (Angel Eyes) are not made by TYC. I'm actually about to get the Halo ones.
The reason they seem like they do not have enough lights is because it's missing the parking lightbulb. Most of the people that have these projectors wire up the Halo to the parking light that way every light is used.

it's missing a orange deflector, which makes it not 50 states legal. you have to check with your local laws to see rather they require a orange deflector or not. same goes for cleared headlights, that's why some people painted the deflector orange

i got mine at a local car shop...its one of those fast and teh furious looking rice stores. you can get them cheaper than what i paid for them pretty much anywhere online. i just didnt want to worry about crap breaking during shipping.
